Daniel Craig Finally Confirms He Will Play James Bond Again

Daniel Craig has managed to turn his Bond future into one of the most protracted sagas in Hollywood.

Last year the British actor made it abundantly clear that he had no plans to continue as 007, stating that he'd "rather break this glass and slash my wrists" than continue in the role.

Fans began to argue over who should take up the mantle, and betting shops have no doubt made a good chunk of change throwing different names into the mix, including Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hardy and Idris Elba.

"I have been quite cagey about it. I have been doing interviews all day and people have been asking me and I think I've been rather coy. But kind of felt like if I was going to speak the truth I should speak truth to you."

Colbert asks: 'We could use some good news here. Daniel Craig, will you return as James Bond?'

The actor replies: "Yes."
